Does Danger Close only increase the damage that explosives deal, or does it also make the blast radius larger?

HBK

It increases the DMG explosives deal by 1.4x, but has no effect on explosive radius.

But while the explosion is the same, due to the increased damage value the kill radius inside the effective blast radius is larger.

On a similar note, I was wondering if say you had danger close and shot an exploding barrel, would the DC be applied to its explosion? I'd think not, but I just wanted to see w/o making a whole new thread...

Vigil

Thanks! Does the same hold true for air support? I thought Chopper Gunners did get a radius increase.

HBK

Yes it applies for Barrels, Gas Tanks, Cars etc...... as they also have hitpoints of their own.

Yep, it's the same for air support, the AC-130's splash radius from the 105mm & 40mm which incapacitates targets is greatly increased by DC pro.

I like to pop one bullet in them and leave them to explode on their own. I swear its in the game's programming to blow when someone gets nearby.

the only case i can see the explosions from barells and such do more dmg actually being useful is on terminal the propane tank on the command tower wont kill someone if their crouched/prone but with DC it probably does.

Isn't there an explodey barrel on the inside of the big bunker in afghan? If you start in the valley by the tail of the plane you can run to the small bunker and shoot the barrel and hope it catches someone running in. Alot of people who start on the other side run straight for that barrel.

Also, in Bailout, if you start below the footbridge, you can run up behind the police car and chuck a nade at the delivery truck, someone is usually hiding behind the truck.

I think *THINK* It also increases the timing of the explosion. Like without it on, it wont explode until the guy is like ON it. But with DC on, when the guy is further away than normal, it will still explode.

NinJa

I'm pretty sure it only adds explosive damage. I've never heard of timed explosives lasting longer due to DC, maybe it's just you though, it could also be different experiences.
